Mr. Chairman. in response to the gentleman from California . let me say that the committee is in a constant battle with the administration to make sure that these programs are carried out in the most expeditious way at the minimum cost and. wherever possible. with the use of U.S. carriers. Let me say. at the gentlemans suggestion. that we will continue to look into this and make sure the transportation of these refugees is both expeditious and costeffective. I want to emphasizeand I am glad the gentleman agrees with me--that we should not hold up the rescue of a single person who is floundering in the seas. First we have to rescue them and get them to safety. and after that we will worry about the cost.
